Chapter 473

"Master, even now you refuse to look at me more than once; in what way am I inferior to her?"

The young girl, her clothes half-undone, was full of allure, attempting to pluck the middle-aged man's heartstrings. Yet, his expression remained calm, his Mental Power impossibly steady.

The girl was not surprised by this; she merely smiled lightly, then continued, "Master, I wonder if, on the day of Mu Siyan's grand wedding, you regretted letting her marry another so hastily."

"When Mu Siyan was yielding to another man beneath him, did she remember the days she spent with you, and would she have mistaken that bridegroom for you?"

"Master, what do you think?" Looking up at the middle-aged man, the girl could not help but frown slightly.

It was one thing that a beauty as charming and alluring as herself could not shake him even when offering herself to him.

But even when mentioning his past love, even when it was the lifelong regret he loved but could not have, his Mental Power remained perfectly complete.

This master of hers was truly a gentleman—so upright it was detestable, and still so oblivious to romance.

"Master, there are some things you might not know, and I have kept them from you for a long time. Since you are destined to perish here today, as your disciple, I will tell you everything in one breath."

"Master only knows that Mu Siyan died of illness three years after her marriage, but you do not know that she did not actually die of a serious illness; she was tortured to death."

At this, the girl could not help but shake her head, as if sighing for the beauty who was once famous throughout the region.

Only, there was more than a little schadenfreude in that sigh.

"The man Mu Siyan married was the Young Master of the Green Jade Pavilion; he appeared gentle and refined, but in reality, he was vicious, jealous, and heartless."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, my first time was also taken by him by force."

After circling the middle-aged man a few times, the girl suddenly smiled, as if she had thought of something interesting.

"Back then, I secretly went to the Green Jade Pavilion to visit this old flame of yours, wanting to see how she was doing."

"I never expected that this Young Master would be so bold; once his lust was stirred, he became reckless and snuck into my room at night."

"I had originally wanted to save my first time for you, Master, but I never expected to be violated by him."

"Master, I have sacrificed so much for you, and now that I only ask for a bit of your cultivation, you refuse; you are truly heartless."

"But it does not matter. Although that Young Master was disgusting, he was generous enough. The reason I was able to advance my cultivation by leaps and bounds is thanks to the gifts from that Young Master."

"At the same time, I inadvertently whispered to him about the past between you and Mu Siyan."

"Who would have thought he was so jealous that he could not tolerate his wife being pure in body but having someone else in her heart."

"Later, I heard that this Young Master confronted Mu Siyan, cursed her for being an unclean woman, and then, in a fit of impulse, actually beat and kicked her."

"Whether Mu Siyan felt guilty or simply accepted it, she did not resist."

"Gradually, this bully who feared the strong and picked on the weak grew bolder, and the beatings and kicks turned into daily torture."

As she spoke, the girl watched her master. At this moment, the other's Mental Power was already fluctuating; her master was, after all, not a heartless man.

Their internal energies clashed, and she had faintly gained the upper hand; she only needed him to reveal the slightest flaw to completely crush him.

Then, she would devour her master's cultivation, allowing her to complete her transformation and truly reach the pinnacle of the pugilistic world.

Moreover, behind her stood an impossibly strong senior. With his guidance, why should she worry about not soaring to the heavens?

During this period of Spiritual Qi Surge, countless people were riding the wind to rise, and she would surely stand head and shoulders above them all.

When her cheap master's mind wavered, he had already lost. Now, it only took one spark to burn through his final defenses.

"Master, I heard from the servants at the Green Jade Pavilion that ever since the Young Master learned of the affair between you two..."

"Every night, one could hear miserable wails coming from their Young Master's room. What kind of person was Mu Siyan? If it were ordinary torture, how could it make her wail?"

"Master can fully imagine what she went through at that time."

"Tsk tsk, to think that Mu Siyan had some fame in the pugilistic world and was the dream lover of countless young heroes. Who would have thought that she would live such days every day."

"I also heard that when Mu Siyan died, there was not a single patch of good skin left on her entire body."

"Her body, which was originally as white as jade, was covered in whip marks, bite marks, and more. Even her private parts were not spared, covered in burn marks and knife wounds."

"Thinking of it now makes one wring their hands in regret; it was truly too miserable!"

Watching her master and feeling the clearly fluctuating spirit, the girl smiled slightly.

"I heard that when Mu Siyan was dying, she was still clutching the handkerchief you gave her; that must have been the item you gifted her when you first met. I never expected she would keep it until the moment she died."

"Whenever the night was deep and quiet, and you were tossing and turning, suffering from the pain of lovesickness, did you know your old flame was suffering endless torture?"

"Perhaps at that time, when she was most helpless, the person she thought of was also you, Master. Unfortunately, when she needed you most, you were never there."

"In the end, it was all your fault, Master. With your strength, what Mu family, what Green Jade Pavilion—it would have been a matter of a single sword stroke. Who would dare to oppose you?"

"And it was precisely because of you that the Young Master of the Green Jade Pavilion did not dare to vent his anger on you, so he could only vent it on Mu Siyan."

"But you knew your beloved was going to marry another, yet you did not dare to snatch her away, not even daring to see her once. You are a coward, a spineless wretch; you killed Mu Siyan, you killed that woman who was full of nothing but you!"

"Master, do you still have the face to live?"

The Mental Power that had been resisting and defending showed obvious, violent fluctuations, and that fleeting tremor was seized by the girl.

Their Cultivation Method was of the same origin, and they were most familiar with each other; this Cultivation Method, which focused on Mental Power, prioritized the state of mind above all else.

Moreover, she had succeeded in a sneak attack earlier and secretly used poison; now, her dear master could only rely on his Mental Power to protect himself.

Therefore, when the other's calm state of mind fluctuated, and when his Mental Power was in turmoil, that was the moment of his defeat.

"Master, the outcome is decided, the victory is set; you have lost. How ridiculous—your whole life was ruined by her, and in the end, you die because of her."

"I know you are filled with regret now, Master, and living will only mean suffering torture every day. Devouring your power to send you on your way—I am doing this for your own good."

"This power of yours, your disciple will take it. Since you will not give it, do not blame your disciple for taking it herself. This process will be a bit painful, so please forgive me, Master!"

Just as the girl was about to finish off the middle-aged man in one go, an extra person appeared beside them—someone who had been watching the show for a while and could no longer stand it.

"Young lady, he has raised you for so many years, after all, and has selflessly taught you for so many years. It is not appropriate for you to smash the pot and break the bowls the moment you have finished your meal."

"Who are you? You dare to ruin my plans?"

"Such a fine young lady, yet the moment you open your mouth, you are detestable; it is truly hard to like you."

"You went to such lengths to devour your master's power; have you never thought that you are also making wedding clothes for someone else!"
